Balmaha accommodation from NZ$96

I really enjoyed my last stay and found the room (overlooking the canal) to be very comfortable, with kettle and coffee machine, as well as mugs and smaller cups. (Much nicer than a room I had on a previous visit that didn’t enjoy much of a view.) The fridge in the room was a little loud on occasion but this was minor. The bed and pillows were very comfortable and the shower was nice and hot. The breakfast area was clean and quiet. Just after I had taken a small serving of hot buffet items, one of the staff came over to my table to apologise that they had just realised that all the food from the serving containers was cold and needed to be heated. Mistakes happen so it wasn’t a particular problem. The coffee was hot and I settled for toast. The staff were lovely at the reception, as well as in the restaurant. Excellent location for the Mailbox and canal side restaurants, pub and cinema. There is a Tesco next door too.

Super clean, safe and the staff are lovely.

I love the character of this hotel. It is clean and comfortable. The staff are top notch: friendly and professional. The location is central and convenient for sightseeing and transport. However, you do need to be street smart around the station.
